Pizzaexpress, Holland Village

All the items tasted good. Too many vegan options and I can’t be happier. But they brought all the items at the same time. Like the starters and the pizza. So by the time we ate our pizza, it’s cold. Not even warm. May be they can do something about it. Also the top section has kids activities and I don’t suggest people to be seated in the top if you want to have a peaceful meal and conversations with friends/family.

Efficient, affordable and delicious- PizzaExpress presents a welcome deviation from the all-too-common 'authentic' Italian eateries. With vibrant interior decor, this is one place that doesn't attempt to submerge the diner with a psudeo-Italian atmosphere. Despite nearly full capacity on a Sunday night, PizzaExpress was neither cramped nor noisy, and service times were a pleasant surprise. While disappointing that PizzaExpress did away with physical paper menus, their waiters were keen to recommend dishes- with the Carbonara pizza being our highlight. Fragrant and savory, it was well-worth the price tag (~$30) The anti-Hawaiian was a quirky take on the ubiquitous flavor, with pineapple puree for sweetness. Unfortunately, the pasta is worth missing out on. Our crab meat linguini was dry, with nary a chunk of crab to be seen. With the adorning caviar tasteless and the sauce unsatisfying, diners would be better served taking the 100m stroll to La Nonna for pastas. Then again, the restaurant name is a more-than-subtle hint towards their specialization. Furthermore, after sitting down, we were surprised to hear of their tiered discount, particularly on a weekend evening. Encouraging gluttony, the promotion incentivizes larger orders (25% off 2 mains, 30%/3, 35%/4, 40%/5). With some quick math, a fifth main will only incur an incremental cost of 40% the list price. It's just befuddling why this promotion isn't plastered all over their storefront and website. Clearing ingredients maybe? Overall, an interesting and wallet-friendly place for unorthodox pizzas, best patronized in large groups.

The food is really consistent at Pizza Express!! The pizza dough is always the perfect balance of crispy and bready (which i love and can eat the crusts). Highly recommend the cabonara pizza which REALLY tastes like cabonara pasta. The Hawaiian is also an interesting take on the typical flavour - they use pineapple compote and shaved ham so it's extra delicious. Dough balls can be skipped but i mainly order it for the garlic butter!! Service at this branch was fantastic too 😊
